"The coming of Men will therefore be much further back. This will be better; for a bare 400 years is quite inadequate to produce the variety, and the advancement (e.g. of the Edain) at the time of Felagund." (HoME X, Myths Transformed)

Men were not created in a special variety that would distinct hobbits, Druedain, etc. They were not even created in such variety as the Eldar perceived; and that was only the difference between the houses of the Edain [and later the other Men coming from the East].
